| Content | Statistics is ubiquitous in medical and nursing research. Clinicians and nurse researchers need to understand basic statistical concepts, be able to interpret statistical results and conduct basic statistical analyses themselves. The course "Advanced Statistics: Multilevel analysis" is the last part of a series of three courses to use the statistical programming language R to learn statistics. This course will provide students the basis to understand and apply advanced statistical techniques such as linear and generalized linear mixed model in the context of nursing research. With the successful completion of the course students will be able to: 1. Understand the conceptual implications of variables on different levels (i.e. micro, meso macro level) 2. Analyze intraclass correlations in the context of LMM and GLMM 3. Analyse random intercept models including variables on different levels 4. Write statistical reports about quantitative analyses conducted in the programming language R 5. Apply principles of reproducible research using R Markdown |
| Learning objectives | • A lecture-seminar-exercise format will be used, with 30-60 minute lectures, 60 minute seminars and 60 minute exercises. • Introduction to more advanced statistical approaches such as multilevel regression and intraclass correlation • Practical training in R programming and analytical techniques. • Analysis of a dataset using R and writing a report using R Markdown in a reproducible manner. |
